What Causes Pain At The Site Of Cesarean Delivery Stitches?
I had a cesearean delivery before three and half months ago. I am a second time mother and 35 yes old. First delivery was normal. I am still having pain in the stomach near stitches and my skin is very loose there. My stomach did not go inside unlike normal delivery. I am breastfeeding my baby. Could someone help me to know what is the cause of heaviness near stitches and what should I do to prevent this? Heaviness/little pain after touching there is on the right hand side.

You should probably get checked by the doctor that did the C-section. They will check to see that the incision is healing and you don't have a hernia. Most women have some discomfort around the C-section scar months after - that can be a normal part of healing. You can try an abdominal binder to support the abdominal wall muscles as they heal.
